The unit has a surprisingly good build quality, including the back-lit display. It also includes a laser pointer to assist with aiming which is a nice plus. However, the stated accuracy (+-2C) is wrong. Mine consistently reads 2-5C (usually 3-4C) higher than actual at room temps (compared to 4 quality digital thermometers which all read to within 0.5C of each other). A before and after reading of the surface that one of the digital thermometer is sitting on is necessary to correct for this unit reading high. Also it seems to suffer a little from heat/cold soaking: if you take a reading of your freezer (with the unit itself 50cm back from the opening to avoid the cool air) and then do another "calibration" check it will read very low, but progressively drift back up towards its norm. The same happens after taking a reading of the engine bay (1m back and to the side to avoid the rising hot air): the sensor will take a while to "cool" down. In summary this unit is far from accurate, but this can be accounted for by taking background readings of known temps. Meanwhile the build quality is great. For the price its worth the purchase.Read full review

Doesn't give consistent or accurate temperature. Not suitable for humans as 2-5 degrees off indoors and 5-10 degrees off outdoors. Perhaps useful over prolonged use in environments with stable conditions but not to get accurate temperatures and definitely not for human use. Price appears to have increased dramatically when COVID needs arose.

Pretty straight forward just put a 9v battery in and point and squeeze then read the screen Seems to show the correct temperature and feels like good quality for the price.

This gun thermometer was bought for soap making. To check the temperature of oils that need to be melted in a pot on the stove and the lye liquid. So easy. Just press the on button and point at the liquid. Instant accurate temperature.

In this day and age, cheaper sometimes is better, but certainly not with this type of thermometer. Having bought the cheaper ones prior to this, and then buying this, there is simply no comparison. This one is industrial, so will measure a vast rang of things, not just body temps. Its range is -20 to 320 degrees which is awesome. It towers over all the rest, and is still cheap to buy. I love it!!
